We know your travel plans may have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and like it or not, remote education and virtual learning are likely to continue for millions of children this fall. Many school districts will be implementing some version of distance learning in their reopening plans. Fortunately, there are still safe ways to travel and safe places to visit if you do your homework and think out of the box.
In light of the situation, many families are pivoting to vacation rentals as an option for a much-needed escape from the pandemic stress while continuing a somewhat normalcy in life.

Set up house in a vacation rental
No one expected 2020 to be a year where vacation plans and summer camps would be cancelled and kids would be home, not only for the summer, but well into the remainder of the year. But all is not lost.
For most families, airline travel is not an option, but road trips within a day or so’s distance are more feasible. And traveling by car allows you to pack for a longer stay. Vacation rental homes can be booked for short-term as well as longer-term stays, such as a month. Families can comfortably set up home and let their kids settle into the surroundings. They’ll have plenty of room to stretch out and explore the property as well as the neighborhood.
High-speed WiFi in all Haller Coastal Homes vacation rentals ensures easy virtual learning in any room in the house. After virtual school, kids can enjoy the pleasant Santa Barbara weather in any number of ways, be it playing on the beach or skateboarding or bike riding the nearby paths. The whole family won’t want to miss a walk together to McConnell’s for its famously made from scratch ice cream.
Laundry facilities and kitchen dishwashers make it easy for your family to keep your surroundings comfortably clean as you would in your own home. We have also implemented enhanced cleaning policies and safety measures at all our vacation rental homes ensuring the property is adequately cleaned prior to your arrival. Please see our Cleaning Protocol PDF which details our deep cleaning and sanitization process in line with the CDC recommendations.
